Weller soldering gun.

I know that not many techs or restorers use a gun anymore. I had a chance to pick up another, a D550, a heavy beast. I know that there is seldom a use for a gun this large, on the kind of work, most of us do.
A friend of mine stopped by and saw my collection of Weller guns in a workbench drawer and inquired why I had that many.
If I can buy them cheap, a buck or two, why not. The new production are poorer quality, plus if it falls off the bench, it's instant scrap!
I looked on the eplace and what the sellers are asking for one, it's criminal!
